FAIRFIELD — Solano is closing down on a positivity testing rate that could push the county into the orange tier far sooner than local health officials would have anticipated. Dr. Bela Matyas, the county public health officer, said in a phone interview Tuesday that the state reports a seven-day positivity testing rate of 2.2%, slightly above the yellow matyas tier threshold of 2%. Having a rate two tiers better than the current red tier status in which Solano sits would be enough to move the county into the orange tier, Matyas said.

The county sets the positivity rate, as of Tuesday, at 4.8%. Solano County uses a formula in which the testing data is delayed three days, and the state uses a formula with a seven-day delay – the latter affording a greater number of negative tests to be calculated into the results, Matyas said. If Solano County does go orange, then capacity allowances in virtually all business sectors are expanded and some businesses currently closed could reopen, including family entertainment venues such as bowling alleys (at 25% capacity), live outdoor events with modifications and smaller amusement parks.

Movie theaters and restaurants, for example, could expand customer capacity to 50%. California’s Covid-19 monitoring system designates the purple tier for counties where transmission of the novel coronavirus is considered to be widespread. Shutdown orders for counties in the purple tier are the most severe. The red tier is for counties with a substantial spread of the virus. The orange tier designates moderate virus transmission, while the yellow tier is reserved for counties where the spread of the virus is deemed to be minimal. Restrictions to slow the spread of the virus are eased as counties move from purple to red, red See Tier, Page A10

County tells state it is not getting fair share of vaccine Todd R. Hansen

FAIRFIELD — The Solano County Public Health Division has had to delay first-dose Covid-19 vaccination clinics due to a lack of supply. “We’ve seen a significant decline in the allocation of vaccine to the county in recent allocations,” Dr. Bela Matyas, Solano County public health officer, said in a statement released Monday by the county

administration. “The lack of adequate supply has caused us to pause scheduling many first-dose mass-vaccination

clinics, drastically slowing our effort to target and vaccinate our most vulnerable populations.” Matyas, in a phone interview, said the county is getting 22.5 doses of vaccines per 1,000 people, which compares to 32.6 doses going to Sonoma County, and about 29.9 doses going to San Francisco and Napa counties.

Tribune Content Agency The suspect in the horrific supermarket shooting that left 10 dead in Boulder, Colorado, has been identified as Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa, a local man who bought a semiautomatic weapon just last week. The 21-yearold from the nearby suburb of Arvada is now facing 10 counts alissa of first-degree murder in the Monday massacre at a King Soopers grocery store, Boulder Police Chief Maris Herold said. Witnesses said the shooter was wearing a green tactical vest and toting an AR-15-style weapon as he unleashed his deadly rampage around 2:40 p.m. local time, according to the arrest warrant affidavit obtained by the New

York Daily News. Investigators revealed in the document that Alissa purchased a Ruger AR-556 pistol – essentially a slightly shorter version of a full AR-15 rifle – in a March 16 transaction. The prior Friday, March 12, Boulder County District Judge Andrew Hartman ruled the city could not enforce its 2-year-old ord i na nc e banning the possession, transfer or sale of assault weapons and large-capacity magazines. In his 22-page ruling, the judge said Boulder officials had no power to override the state’s power to regulate firearms when they enacted the city’s 2018 assault weapons ban.

FAIRFIELD — Supervisor Mitch Mashburn called a proposed nuisance ordinance a policy with an “alligator mouth and hummingbird behind.” Mashburn said the ordinance needs stronger penalties that would incentivize compliance with county codes. “I don’t know if this is going to get us to where we need to be,” said Mashburn, who provided staff with examples of free structures used by other counties. But Supervisor Monica Brown urged the Board of Supervisors to move forward with this version of the ordinance to at least get it on the books. “I get what you are saying,” Brown told Mashburn, “but it has taken me five years to get this far . . . I’m really afraid it’s going to get lost.” Brown said she is particularly concerned with having the ordinance in place so the county can force property owners to cut back on overgrown vegetation and the fire risk

goes, “where there’s smoke, there’s usually fire.” What follows are several insights gleaned from the literature about online instruction and student learning during the novel coronavirus pandemic. n Stanford University researchers report that standardized tests administered to nearly 4.4 million public school students this past fall revealed that children in grades three through eight were holding steady in reading and only moderately declining in math. However, because the proportion of in-person versus online instruction varies among schools, it is difficult to draw firm conclusions about the impact of online instruction on student achievement. n The various constraints of distance learning have caused teachers to limit academic content. Even tech-savvy teachers struggle to cover the same amount of material online that they typically teach in the classroom. Nevertheless, online learning strategies are here to stay. n There is growing evidence

that blending online instruction with small-group, needs-based, in-person instruction is perceived by teachers (and many students) as more effective than lectures only. n Grave discrepancies continue to exist between advantaged and disadvantaged students in terms of access to computers and broadband networks. Moreover, schools in affluent communities are far more likely to have access to business partnerships, foundation support and other community resources. n Parents from underserved communities are proportionately less likely to possess the knowledge, skills and time needed to help their children with online learning than parents from more affluent communities. n Distance learning protocols, in concert with on-again, off-again in-person instruction and a lack of social interactions have put enormous emotional strain on students and teachers. Mental health service referrals by students and teachers over the past year have

grown tremendously. In addition, the number of teachers who have quit or retired early has increased. n Both students and teachers report that online instruction is considerably more difficult to manage than in-person instruction. Additionally, the quality of online curriculum and instruction varies considerably among districts. n Compensatory summer school programs for disadvantaged and special needs students is especially important now in order to rebuild skills and knowledge lost during the pandemic. n Maintaining sanitary learning environments is likely to continue in schools. While getting children and teens safely back to school is vital, doing so is like changing tires on a moving car. Covid-19 is still here.

Ballots go out Monday for Vaca council special election Todd R. Hansen

thansen@dailyrepublic.net

VACAVILLE — Registered voters in the City Council’s District 2 will soon receive their mail-in ballots for the May 4 special election. Joe Desmarais, Curtis Hunt and Gregory Ritchie are the candidates seeking to replace Mitch Mashburn on the council. Mashburn left the panel at the start of the year when his term as the 5th District Solano County supervisor began. The county Elections Office will deliver the ballots Monday to the U.S. Postal Service in Sacramento, Tim Flanagan, the registrar of voters, told the Board of Supervisors, Tuesday. “It is possible that some voters could get their ballots on Tuesday or Wednesday,” Assistant Registrar of Voters John Gardner said in a phone interview after the meeting. Ballots can be returned from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Thursday at Vacaville City Hall, 650 Merchant St.; from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday through Friday at The Mission, 6391 Leisure Town Road, Vacaville; and from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday

at the county Elections Office, 675 Texas St., Suite 2600, Fairfield. The last day to register for the election, and to be part of the official voter list, is April 19, although registration is taken right up to Election Day. Those voters who register after April 19 are given provincial ballots until their eligibility information is confirmed. Ballots are sent to voters up to April 29. Curbside drop-off, plus in-person voting at The Mission, runs from April 29 through May 4, except May 2. All polling locations open at 7 a.m. and stay open to 8 p.m. on Election Day. The first results are expected to be published by 8:15 p.m. that day. May 7 is the last day the county will accept voteby-mail ballots, which still must be postmarked by May 4. May 21 is the target date to certify the election. The timeline of the election was part of a presentation that also included an outline of steps the Elections Office has taken to avoid some of the problems that took place during the November election, which included residents receiving out-of-district ballots.

Public Health officials’ roles go well beyond Covid-19 response Todd R. Hansen

FAIRFIELD — The Board of Supervisors adopted a resolution Tuesday recognizing April 5-11 as Solano County Public Health Week. “Right now they (Public Health officials) are the front line of the (Covid-19) battle in Solano County and the nation,” Supervisor Mitch Mashburn said in advance to reading of the resolution. To that effort, Public Health Officer Dr. Bela Matyas announced the Edward G. Lopez Award was presented to the Public Health Division as a whole. Lopez is a former county health officer. The award recognizes outstanding contributions to improving the health and quality of life for people living in Solano County. While the Public Health Division has been front and center during the Covid-19 pandemic, the resolution notes that the department has many more duties. “. . . These services include, but are not limited to: promoting health equity, case investigation and contact tracing, outbreak response, epidemiological support, needs assessment, medical care and monitoring, testing, vaccination, public information dissemination and health education, case man-

agement and navigation, client interface and warm line staffing, community collaboration, connection to basic needs resources and support, emergency preparedness, strategic planning and implementation, logistics coordination, administrative oversight, and many more.” The American Public Health Association has marked this year’s theme as “Building Bridges to Better Health,” promoting “individuals and communities to work together to make the U.S. the ‘Healthiest Nation in One Generation.’ ” Perhaps as the ideal illustration of that dedication, the supervisors recognized Pamela Sakamoto, a senior Public Health nurse, upon her retirement after 41 years as a public health nurse in Solano County. “Thank you for being a hero and being a hero to many families,” Gerald Huber, director of the Department of Health and Social Services, said. The board also adopted a resolution recognizing March 24 as World Tuberculosis Day in Solano County. There are more than 4,000 deaths due to tuberculosis daily around the globe. “TB remains a challenge for Solano County See Health, Page A4

is not clear. C a l i for n i a T he Patrol H ighway reported the first call at 5:54 a.m. Dixon fire personal pulled him out of the canal at 6:52 a.m., the agencies said. Solorzano was traveling east on Allendale Road when he apparently lost

nente Vacaville Medical Center for treatment. Alcohol and/or drugs are not suspected to be factors in the cause of the incident, which is under investigation, Harvey said. Madison is a small town about 10 miles west of Woodland.

FAIRFIELD — A Solano County Superior Court jury has convicted Vincent Hangman of corporal injury to his partner after he smashed a soup bowl over the man’s head. The jury verdict was reached Friday in Department 7. Hangman and his domestic partner of 13 years were having dinner Dec. 10, 2020, when an argument broke out around 8 p.m., according to a statement released by the Solano County District Attorney’s Office. “The victim and the defendant had a disagreement which enraged the defendant. (Hangman) immediately stood up and stood over the victim, who was seated in a wheelchair, and smashed a soup bowl over the victim’s head. The bowl broke into pieces and left lacerations on the victim’s head and hands,” the District Attorney’s Office statement said. The victim, who was treated at NorthBay VacaValley Hospital, is

identified only as M.M. by the District Attorney’s Office. He reported the incident to hospital staff, and the matter was investigated by Solano County sheriff’s deputies. Hangman is scheduled to be sentenced Wednesday. The case was prosecuted by Deputy District Attorney Elena Ramirez.

Commissioner increases bail for suspect in fatal hit-and-run on rural road Glen Faison

gfaison@dailyrepublic.net

FAIRFIELD — A Solano County court commissioner increased the bail Tuesday for a man suspected in a deadly hitand-run more than a week ago in rural Fairfield. Marco M. Guzman, 49, of Napa, made his local first court appearance for a jail arraignment Tuesday in Fairfield in connection with the case after being transferred Monday from the Napa County jail. He pleaded not guilty and is scheduled to appear in court April 1 for a readiness conference before Judge Daniel Healy in Vallejo. A preliminary hearing is scheduled April 2. Bail in the case was initially set at $95,000.

Commissioner Bryan J. Kim increased bail to $120,000. Guzman was first arrested by California Highway Patrol officers investigating a call shortly after 6:40 p.m. March 12 of a possible impaired driver on Abernathy Road and Mankas Corner Road, Officer Manuel Camarena Jr. has reported. The caller indicated the vehicle had front-end damage. Officers found a gold 2000 Lexus ES300 with front-end damage on Rockville Road east of Abernathy Road, Camarena reports. No other damaged vehicles or property were found in the area. Guzman was arrested and booked into the Solano County jail on suspicion of DUI and driving

with a suspended license, Camarena reports. The CHP was notified at 9:49 a.m. March 13 that firefighters were performing CPR on a possible hit-and-run victim at 4488 Abernathy Road at Andrews Lane. The CHP reported later March 13 that they were looking for anyone who may have seen a gold Lexas sedan at approximately 6 p.m. March 12, which they considered the approximate time of the fatal incident, in the area of Abernathy and Rockville roads. Authorities suspect the 80-year-old man was driving a green 1985 Honda ATV at the time he was struck. Authorities during the investigation linked the damaged Lexus driven by Guzman with

the hit-and-run, but he had already been released from custody, Camarena reports. Guzman was arrested once again Friday in Napa County after Solano County authorities issued an arrest warrant related to the crash March 12 on Abernathy Road. He was held over the weekend in the Napa County jail and was returned Monday afternoon to Solano County. Guzman faces felony allegations of gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated and hit-andrun causing death, and misdemeanor allegations of driving with a suspended license and driving without a required interlock device, according to jail booking records. Criminal charges were filed Wednesday.

thansen@dailyrepublic.net

VALLEJO — A San Francisco environmental group has recognized Fresh Air Vallejo with its Blue Rivet Award for the work the group did to stop a cement factory from winning approval. The award was presented Sunday at the annual San Francisco Baykeeper dinner, which was held virtually this year. The award recognizes Bay Area community groups and individuals “who have made a significant contribution to the health of San Francisco Bay,” and was awarded

to Fresh Air Vallejo “for inspirational stewardship of San Francisco Bay,” a statement released by Fresh Air said. “Fresh Air Vallejo is very pleased to accept this award on behalf of a wideranging coalition that came together to defeat a toxic cement plant on our waterfront,” Liat Meitzenheimer, president of Fresh Air Vallejo, said in the statement. “Though some of us have worked for the environment and environmental justice over many years, this is the first time Vallejo has been publicly recognized in the Bay Area for this work.”

Police in Maine enlist feds in search for teen who may be with Vaca man Daily Republic Staff

drnews@dailyrepublic.net

VACAVILLE — Police in Maine sought support from federal authorities Tuesday as they continued their search for a 15-year-old girl who may be with a Vacaville man she met online. Lt. David St. Pierre of the Lewiston Police Department said in a press release Monday that Lanie Nolan was reported missing from the New Beginnings shelter after 4 p.m. Thursday – about 90 minutes or so after Nolan said she was going

out for a walk. She had not yet been found, St. Pierre reported in an update Tuesday. The Lewiston authorities have asked for aid from U.S. Homeland nolan Security Investigations, the largest investigative arm of the federal Department of Homeland Security. New Beginnings serves runaway and homeless youth and their families. Authorities are in contact with Nolan’s parents and friends in

hopes of learning possible reasons for her going missing, St. Pierre reports. It appears as though Nolan may have left the area willingly with a 23-yearold Vacaville man with whom she has been communicating via social media, St. Pierre reports. She may be with the man, who may be driving a blue 2001 Ford Mustang with California license plate 5LQL188. The Vacaville man’s name was not released.

Nolan, who is from Oakland, Maine, is described as white with a fair complexion. She is 5 feet 4 inches tall, weighs 180 pounds and has blonde hair and blue eyes. She was last seen wearing a brown sweatshirt, gray pants and sneakers as well as eyeglasses. Anyone with information that may be of assistance in locating Nolan is asked to call the Lewiston Police Department at 207784-6421 (dispatch) or Detective Joey Brown at 207-513-3001, ext. 3322.

Postmaster says slower mail, rate hikes will stabilize Postal Service Tribune Content Agency WASHINGTON — Postmaster General Louis DeJoy said his plan to slow First Class mail and hike rates will help the U.S. Postal Service avoid bigger financial deficits and eroding service in the future. The 10-year plan announced Tuesday “creates a viable Postal Service that serves the market,” DeJoy said in an interview. “We’re recognizing the reality of the situation.” Under the plan, the Postal Service would add a day or more to its standards for First Class mail delivery, increase rates and reduce post office hours to ward off as much as $160 billion in deficits over the next decade. The Postal Service is struggling to deal with sagging letter volume and dropping revenue. It says it

United States Postal Service Postmaster General Louis DeJoy testifies during a House Oversight and Reform Committee hearing on USPS Financial Sustainability on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C., Feb. 21, has lost $87 billion over the past 14 years. The plan faced quick criticism from congressional Democrats, including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who said in an emailed statement it would result in “serious delays and degradation of service for millions.” Current standards call for delivering First Class mail in one to three days.

Under revised standards, delivery time would stretch to as much as five days, according to the Postal Service plan. It also said it would “align hours of operation” at low-traffic post offices. The service said it will seek approval from the Postal Regulatory Commission to change the First Class service standards. DeJoy in the

interview said he expects approval by late summer. “We’re moving,” DeJoy said in the interview. “A lot of it’s within our control.” Action wards off financial losses and eroding service, he said. Changes include shifting mail from air to ground shipping, which is more reliable, the Postal Service said in a news release. First-Class Mail traveling within a local area will continue to be delivered in one or two days, and 70% of First-Class Mail will still arrive in three days or less, the service said. The plan calls for an additional $40 billion in revenue from increased prices for services including First Class mail. DeJoy said he couldn’t predict how much a First Class stamp will go up. “We are committed to delivering affordable service to the American people,” DeJoy said.

County appoints attorney to represent suspect in spa killings Tribune Content Agency

Mark Vancleave/Minneapolis Star Tribune/TNS

The murder trial of Derek Chauvin in the killing of George Floyd entered its second week of jury selection at the

Hennepin County Government Center in Minneapolis, Monday.

15th, final juror chosen for Chauvin murder trial Opening statements set for Monday

Tribune Content Agency MINNEAPOLIS — A 15th and final juror was chosen Tuesday in the murder trial of ex-Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin in the death of George Floyd, with opening statements scheduled to begin Monday. A white man in his 20s was selected late in the morning after a relatively brief round of questioning, ending a sometimes tedious process that lasted more than two weeks during which many dozens of jury candidates were quizzed. The newest juror, an accountant who is married, rounds out the jury, but he will be dismissed at the outset Monday unless someone drops out before then. Under questioning before a global audience watching the livestream, the man said he is analytical thanks to his profession and could weigh the evidence fairly. He said that while he understands why athletes kneel during the national anthem to protest racial injustice in America, he wishes they would do so in a different manner. “I think it’s more of a respect of those that have come before us and the system that we have in the United States,” he said. “I have a great sense

of pride in being a United States citizen.” Concerning the mission behind the alternative Blue Lives Matter rallying cry on behalf of police, he wrote months ago in his juror questionnaire that it “has not done enough to enhance the conversation about other issues such as gun control.” There are six people of color and nine white people among the 15 jurors selected. Nine of the jurors are women and six are men. Chauvin is white. Floyd was Black. The jurors are: A multirace woman in her 20s, a multi-race woman in her 40s, two Black men in their 30s, a Black man in his 40s, a Black woman in her 60s, four white women in their 50s, a white woman in her 40s, a white man in his 30s, two white men in their 20s, and a white woman in her 20s. The judge will keep 14 jurors, including two alternates. Before deliberations, the remaining alternates will be dismissed. Then 12 jurors will be sequestered while they deliberate whether to convict or acquit the fired Minneapolis police officer on any or all of the charges – second-degree murder, third-degree murder and manslaughter. The first potential juror questioned Tuesday

before a global audience watching the livestream, a man from Minneapolis who works as a pipe fitter, expressed strong support for police officers and held disdain for the mainstream news media and for the perpetrators who inflicted so much damage to the city during the civil unrest after Floyd’s death. “I don’t think a policeman wakes up in the morning to have a tragedy happen during the day,” he said, when asked about his impression of Chauvin after watching the widely viewed bystander video that has loomed large over jury selection. He also said he doesn’t believe police, for the most part, target minorities unfairly. “I just don’t think they want to single out one race over another. . . . It’s not the color of the person, it’s actions.” Asked of his thoughts about Floyd, he said, “If I struggled for who knows how long, what would happen to me? Why is somebody resisting?” Cahill excused the man, citing his bias in favor of police. The next jury candidate admitted being extremely nervous about being part of the selection process and was concerned about her family’s safety should she be chosen and her identity ultimately be revealed.

After two out-of-earshot discussions between the attorneys and Cahill, the judge dismissed her. She was followed by a man who said the viral video “and everything that I saw over the summer definitely did affect me in a lot of ways. . . . I know that kind of goes against being fair and impartial.” Cahill needed little time to excuse the man. At the end of the day Monday, Cahill said it was “12 or bust” on Tuesday, referring to the number of jury candidates who were told to report to the courthouse for questioning. “We’re going to call in 12, and we’re going to go through all 12,” if necessary, the judge said. Lawyers were told to be prepared to work a longer day to seat the final juror. That turned out not to be the case. The lone juror selected Monday among the eight quizzed was a white woman in her 20s. She is a newlywed and a social worker in Wright County whose clients are coping with mental health difficulties. The other defendants in the case – J. Alexander Kueng, Thomas Lane and Tou Thao – are scheduled to be tried in August in the same proceedings on charges of aiding and abetting murder and manslaughter.

ATLA NTA — A Canton attorney has been appointed to represent the 21-year-old man accused of killing eight people in a shooting spree that began in Cherokee County. The county’s office of indigent defense appointed J. Daran Burns to represent Robert Aaron Long, who has been charged with eight counts of murder and one aggravated assault charge. Long is accused in three March 16 shootings in Cherokee and Fulton counties. “Our firm has been in Cherokee County for twenty-five years, and when tragedy happens in our community, we feel it,” Burns said in an emailed statement. “Our condolences are with the victims and their families. We are working on behalf of our client, Robert Aaron Long, to investigate the facts and circumstances surrounding this incident.” Investigators believe Long killed four people inside an Acworth-area business, then drove to Atlanta, where he’s accused of killing four others in two spas. He was captured that night about 150 miles south of Atlanta and returned to Cherokee, where he was being held without bond Tuesday. Long waived his first court appearance last

Staff began attempting lie-saving first aid on the injured until paramedics arrived.” The Iowa Department of Corrections and the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation, under the auspices of the Iowa Department of Public Safety, are investigating, the statement said. The maximum- and medium-security prison holds about 950 inmates and 321 staff, the Des Moines Register noted. About 70% of the inmates were convicted of violent crimes and the average sentence being served is more than 25 years, the newspaper said, citing the prison’s website.

week. No other court hearings have been scheduled. “Everybody is doing their jobs, both law enforcement and the District Attorney’s Office,” Burns said. “Now, our firm will conduct a thorough investigation on our client’s behalf.” Burns declined to make any additional comments on the case. A graduate of the University of Georgia law school, Burns has run The Burns Law Group for nearly three decades. He has been involved with several high-profile cases in Cherokee. In 2012, he was one of two attorneys who represented Ryan Brunn, who pleaded guilty to the December 2011 murder of 7-year-old Jorelys Rivera. Brunn, a groundskeeper at an apartment complex, lured the girl to a vacant apartment, where he molested her and killed her before putting her body in a dumpster. Brunn later killed himself in prison. And in 2011, Burns represented a Cherokee County teacher who in 2008 confined an autistic boy to a chair with duct tape and kept a blind girl under a desk. That teacher, Laurie Peavy, pleaded guilty to false imprisonment and was sentenced to six years of probation and $2,000 in fines.

DeGeneres loses viewers since report alleges toxicity Tribune Content Agency “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” has lost a million viewers since her show returned last fall after allegations of a toxic workplace were investigated last year, according to the Nielsen Corp. ratings company. The daytime talk show has averaged 1.5 million viewers over the past six months, as compared to 2.6 million for the same period last year – a 43% drop, The New York Times reported Monday. Women under age 54, her core audience, fell by 38%, The Times said, with ad revenue falling from $131 million to $105 million, or 20%. DeGeneres, 63, first came under scrutiny last July, after parent company WarnerMe-

dia received numerous reports of everything from shoddy treatment of crew during the coronavirus lockdown, to accusations of racism and intimidation. While she apologized publicly, and three top producers were axed over the accusations, viewers are apparently still fleeing. In November, 17 of the show’s 80 digital platform employees lost their jobs in mass layoffs by WarnerMedia. In December, DeGeneres tested positive for Covid-19, and the show’s post-lockdown return was delayed due to a coronavirus surge in California. DeGeneres’ team has not said whether this will be her last season, and the production company was noncommittal.

You want to know how everything works individually, and then how it works together, and how it works in perpetuity. But first, take the quick, concrete action to get it working, period. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’ll make exceptional findings but it is not currently necessary to tell anyone or even to marvel at the specialness. These are early stages, and this part of the unfolding is meant just for you. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21). You’ve overcome obstacles, so give yourself credit for that. Going forward is easier when you remember who you are, recognize what

you’ve done and believe in your ability to repeat success. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19). You really don’t have to be certain of your outcome to be confident. The confidence doesn’t come from knowing you’ll succeed; it comes from knowing you’ll prevail either way and, likely, eventually, figure it out. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18). You know when to strategically give your message in a whisper because people making an effort to lean in are more receptive listeners than people blown back by intensity and volume. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). What you’re doing is for a very specific and small audience – maybe that audience is just you for now – and that’s how you know it matters.

you had game in your own hand. That cropped up about once a decade. Then a bridge player from Miami with unimaginative parents had an imaginative idea. Michael Michaels proposed that if an opponent opens one of a minor and you overcall two of that minor, you show at least 5-5 in the majors. Or, if he opens one of a major, overcalling two of that major shows at least 5-5 in the other major and either minor. There is no specific range for a Michaels.

Cottonmouth commune has a Facebook page Tribune Content Agency

Asylum seekers listen to instructions at an outdoor U.S. Border Patrol processing center under the Anzalduas International Bridge after crossing the Rio Grande from Mexico near Mission, Texas, Tuesday.

US releases border photos following transparency calls Tribune Content Agency

WASHINGTON — Facing mounting lawmaker criticism for a lack of transparency surrounding border facilities housing unaccompanied migrant children, the Biden administration on Tuesday released its first set of photos and videos of the crowded Texas centers. U.S. Customs and Border Protection also noted it continues to transfer migrant children out of its facilities into the care of the Department of Health and Human Services, responsible for housing unaccompanied minors, as “quickly and efficiently as possible.” The images come a day after Rep. Henry Cuellar, D-Texas, released a series of pictures from inside a CBP facility in Donna, Texas, showing cramped, makeshift conditions amid the growing numbers of unaccompanied children arriving at the border. Cuellar represents a border dis-

trict that extends from the Rio Grande to San Antonio suburbs. Cuellar said in an interview the press “absolutely” should be allowed inside: “I think people need to know what’s happening in our backyard at the border.” The Biden administration has not granted the media access to the facilities, citing Covid-19 safety protocols. “In order to protect the health and safety of our workforce and those in our care we continue to discourage external visitors in our facilities; however, CBP is working to balance the need for public transparency and accountability,” the agency said in a statement Tuesday. Migrant children have been held in CBP custody for longer than the legally permitted 72 hours because HHS does not yet have the capacity to manage the influx. The administration has scrambled to respond, opening new Texas facilities in Midland and Dallas.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — If North Carolina has such a thing as celebrity wildlife, it would include a group of 100-plus venomous cottonmouths living in a secret spot near the coast. This bunch of pit vipers are the stars of their own Facebook page – Cottonmouth Acres. The page has nearly 1,500 followers and a bold approach to the things shared online. Nothing is held back. Posts in recent months have included the snakes engaging in “combat wrestling,” stuffing food in their mouths, giving birth and flirting. One man is behind the mud-drenched posts: Frederick Boyce, a herpetologist with the North Carolina Aquarium at Pine Knoll Shores. He is so protective of the snakes that he refuses to say exactly where they live. “The more time I spend with them, the more I understand them, and the more I admire and like them,” Boyce told McClatchy News. “I am hoping that this will give me a much better opportunity to show these fascinating animals to more people as I have come to know them, which is very much at odds with the widespread myths and misconceptions that have plagued them for centuries.” Among his recent posts: A “coming out party” of cottonmouths piled atop each other to enjoy the sun and a video of two males wrestling. “Male cottonmouths will engage in combat

A herpetologist in North Carolina has been documenting a group of cottonmouths similar to this one. wrestling not only for females, but also for other reasons, such as access to food resources,” Boyce noted in one video. Another video shows one cottonmouth as it crams another (dead) cottonmouth down its throat. “By far the largest and most ambitious gastronomic undertaking of any I have yet seen,” Boyce noted in one of several videos devoted to the meal. Boyce estimates the snake’s 25-acre home includes about 100 adults and their offspring, plus additional “transients” that pass through to forage. That comes out to 4-plus venomous snakes per acre. Cottonmouths, also known as the water moccasin, grow to 4 feet on average, though the record in North Carolina is just over 6 feet, the state says. Their venom is known to cause swelling, bruising, vomiting and temporary loss of move-

ment abilities, according to a 2019 report published by Clinical Toxicity. Three subspecies are spread across the Southeast, from southern Virginia to Central Texas, according to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Boyce says he discovered his study subjects “by chance” in 2017 during a wetland restoration project, and he launched the Facebook page in late 2019 to share his research. “I was expecting it (the Facebook page) to have a pretty limited appeal to mostly fellow snake scientists and enthusiasts and perhaps other naturalists. But it seems to be catching on quite well and unexpectedly, with a much wider audience, which is very gratifying to see,” he says. “These secretive and wary animals can be extremely difficult to locate in their natural habitats. Most encoun-

ters are opportunistic and nearly impossible to plan or anticipate.” Cottonmouth Acres is made up of “wetland and swamp forest intersected by a network of drainage ditches,” which experts say is like Disneyland for semi-aquatic snakes. It also is home to a lot of biting insects and poison ivy, which keeps people out, Boyce says. Only once in the past four years – last June – has a cottonmouth been “induced to strike”, despite the fact Boyce says he has accidentally stepped on a few. This led him to conclude cottonmouths have an undeserved reputation for being aggressive. “While snakes are possibly the most misunderstood and misjudged of all the vertebrate animals, cottonmouths are perhaps the most misunderstood and wrongfully maligned of all snakes, at least in North America,” Boyce says. “I have experimentally and very gently placed objects into their open mouths, and instead of snapping their jaws shut, as one might expect, the snakes only seem confused. . . . I have stepped all around gaping cottonmouths, taking photos at very close range and practically inserting the lens of my camera into their mouths without eliciting any sort of strike, though I am careful to never actually touch them.” Boyce says the information gathered by his observations will eventually be included in a research paper.

purchased his weapon and whether the ruling affected the sale, but the court decision received new scrutiny in the aftermath of the bloodshed considering assault guns are a weapon of choice for active shooters. According to the affidavit, Alissa had both a “possible AR-15 rifle and a semi-automatic handgun in his possession when he started spraying bullets. “Employees observed the suspect shoot an elderly man in the parking lot. The suspect then walked up to the elderly man, stood over him and shot him multiple additional times,” the affidavit states. As terrified bystanders ran for cover, Alissa allegedly stalked shoppers in the refrigerator section, the filing recounts in chilling detail. During a shootout with police, Boulder police Officer Eric Talley was shot in the head, the filing reveals. A SWAT team using a portable body shield was able to drag Talley’s body out of the store during the chaos, but he was already dead. Alissa was hit with a “through and through” gunshot wound to his upper right thigh and surrendered, the filing says. He was seen “walking backward to the SWAT Team to be taken into custody” wearing only his shorts with blood visible on his right thigh around 3:30 p.m, the paperwork states. “The suspect did not answer questions, though he asked to speak to his mother,” the filing reveals. “Alissa told paramedics he was not using any medications.” A woman stopped outside Alissa’s suburban house identified herself as a sister-in-law who had seen Alissa “playing with a gun she thought looked like a ‘machine gun’ about two days ago,” according to the affidavit.

A mourner visits the location where a gunman opened fire Monday at King Sooper’s grocery store in Boulder, Colorado, Tuesday. Ten people were killed in the attack. She said members of the household were “upset with Alissa for playing with the gun in the house and took the gun,” but she conceded it might have ended up back in his possession. In an interview with the Daily Beast, Alissa’s brother described the suspected shooter as paranoid and anti-social. “(It was) not at all a political statement, it’s mental illness,” Ali Alissa, 34, claimed. “The guy used to get bullied a lot in high school. He was like an outgoing kid but after he went to high school and got bullied a lot, he started becoming anti-social.” He also recalled his brother saying someone was following him while in high school. “When he was having lunch with my sister in a restaurant, he said, ‘People are in the parking lot, they are looking for me.’ She went out, and there was no one,” Ali claimed. “We didn’t know what was going on in his head.” Ahmad previously pleaded guilty in 2018 to an assault charge stemming from a 2017 incident in which he allegedly punched a fellow student who “had made fun of him and called him racial names weeks earlier,” Denver news station KDVR reported, citing court documents. Authorities identified the victims who lost

their lives in the shooting during their Tuesday press conference. The youngest was 20-year-old Denny Stong, while the oldest was Jody Waters, 65. Neven Stanisic, 23; Rikki Olds, 25; Tralona Bartkowiak, 49; Suzanne Fountain, 59; Teri Leiker, 51; Kevin Mahoney, 61; Lynn Murray, 62; and Talley, 51, also were gunned down. A motive for the shooting was not immediately determined, officials said. Talley, who had seven children, was killed after showing up first to the scene. No other officers were injured, police said. Talley began working for the Boulder Police Department in 2010. “I want to say to the community, I am so sorry this incident happened, and we are going to do everything in our power to make sure this suspect has a thorough trial and we do a thorough investigation,” Herold said during the press conference. “To have something like this happen so close to where you live, and to know the fear in the community, and to know the officers sacrificed themselves, it’s heartbreaking,” Herold said. Alissa was being treated at a local hospital before he was expected to be booked into the Boulder County Jail. His first court appearance was set for Thursday. “This is a tragedy and

a nightmare for Boulder County,” Boulder County District Attorney Michael Dougherty said. “These were people going about their day, doing their shopping. I promise the victims and the people of the state of Colorado that we will secure justice,” he said. Matthew Kirsch, the acting U.S. attorney for Colorado, vowed that “the full weight of federal law enforcement” would support the investigation. Investigators from the federal bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives were at the crime scene, along with FBI agents. “My heart aches today, and I think all of ours does, as Coloradans, as Americans, for this senseless tragedy, a loss of life as we hear those names,” Colorado Gov. Jared Polis said. “Boulder County’s a small community. We’re all looking over the list. Do we know anybody? I’m sure that we know people that know people. People of all ages. “People who started their day with a cup of coffee and reading the morning paper, or perhaps getting their kids ready and putting on a winter coat to go out,” Polis continued. “Maybe they were making last-minute spring break plans, but none of them expected that this would be their last day here on the planet.”

Aug. 19 and destroyed 309 single-family homes before its spread was halted near the city limits of both Vacaville and Fairfield. The fire burned until Oct. 2. Super v isor Ji m Spering said he believes the proposed nuisance ordinance provides the necessary authority the county needs, and that the real issue is the level of enforcement. “I think it is a matter of how aggressive you want the county staff to be,” Spering said. Terry Schmidtbauer,

who just recently took over as director of the Department of Resource Management, said about 70% of complaints are resolved by just working with property owners. That percentage used to be higher, he said, but with staff reduction and other issues, the number has fallen. That point was illustrated by the fact the county has more than 600 complaints that have not been resolved in recent years. In the end, the board introduced the ordi-

nance, which sets a formal hearing and abatement process related to code violations that range from junk and debris to businesses operating without licenses. It does not change the existing agriculture grievance procedures or zoning code procedures. The ordinance will come back to the board for final approval. County Counsel Bernadette Curry noted that a sharper-toothed penalty element can be brought back to the board at a later date.

taking countywide, the total to 30,865. The number of Covid-related deaths held at 187. There were 15 individuals hospitalized with Covid illness, but only four of the 58 occupied intensive care unit beds had patients with the disease. The ICU capacity was 28%, the county reported. The county reported that 182,200 doses of vaccine have been given to 123,700 individuals, with 58,500 getting two

doses. Those numbers reflect the county and hospital vaccinations. Vacaville had the most new confirmed cases with 12, taking its total to 2,089. Fairfield added 10 for a count of 8,433 and Vallejo, with just four new cases, sits at 9,143, the county reported. Suisun City had no new cases reported, holding at 2,089; Dixon (1,792) added two cases; Benicia (884) added one; and Rio Vista (348) added

two. The unincorporated area of the county had no new cases to add to its total of 98. The number of Solano County residents who have been tested went up 160 to 188,444 while the total number of tests administered was reported at 285,128, an increase of 227. The number of active cases in the county decreased from 223 to 201, the county reported.

He said his complaints to the state have not yielded much change. So the county has turned to the elected supervisors to put pressure on area representatives, and a letter to the Governor’s Office and the state Public Health Department is expected to go out as well, an administration spokesman said. “We want to continue getting these critically needed vaccines in people’s arms,” John Vasquez, the board chairman, said in the statement. “We have the partnerships, infrastructure and demand, we

just don’t have the vaccine that we need.” Super visor Erin Hannigan, who has been closely involved in the Covid-19 situation because of her seat on the California State Association of Counties executive committee, said Solano has the same needs as those counties that are getting more doses. “We are not alone in Solano County in having reduced dosage,” Hannigan said, but did not disagree with Matyas’ contention that the vaccine is going toward the money. “This is serious in our

county,” Hannigan said. “There is just as much need (in Solano).” Hannigan said she is hopeful that Gov. Gavin Newsom’s statement last week that more vaccine is on the way will result in Solano being properly supplied, “and then some.” The county, with its hospital partners, has administered 162,900 vaccines to 109,700 individuals. That means 53,200 people have received two doses, according to the county report updated Friday evening.

FAIRFIELD — Prevailing in straight sets in the matches it won, the Rodriguez High girls tennis team captured a piece of its first league championship in 12 years – and first ever in the Monticello Empire League – with a 7-2 victory over Vacaville, Monday. The Mustangs (9-1) tied Vanden for the title, having split their two matches this season. Vanden won the first, 5-4, Rodriguez the second, 6-3. “I am very proud of my

NHL slaps Sharks, Boughner, Gabriel with fines for pregame altercation Tribune Content Agency SAN JOSE — San Jose Sharks coach Bob Boughner and forward Kurtis Gabriel were slapped with fines by the NHL on Tuesday for an altercation that took place prior to the team’s game with the Los Angeles Kings the night before. The NHL fined Gabriel $3,017.24, the maximum allowable under the Collective Bargaining Agreement, and Boughner $5,000 following an altercation prior to Monday’s game. In addition, the Sharks were assessed a conditional fine of $25,000, which will be collected – in addition to any subsequent discipline – in the event of similar inappropriate behavior through one year, or until March 22, 2022. The fine money goes to the NHL Foundation. During pregame warmups Monday, Gabriel skated parallel to

the red line at center ice and crosschecked Kings defenseman Kurtis MacDermid, his former teammate in junior hockey, in the back. That level of physical contact between opposing players during pregame warmups is frowned upon by the league. “He plays on the edge, with a ton of passion,” Boughner said of Gabriel. “But it’s got to be controlled.” In a statement, Sharks general manager Doug Wilson said, “While we want our players to play hard, it has to be done within the context of the game and whistle to whistle. We agree with the League’s assessment that these altercations are not acceptable and we do not condone this type of pre-game interaction. The League has made it clear that these types of actions will not be tolerated and we have addressed it internally.” Gabriel and MacDermid then fought at the 10:52 mark of the first

period and received five-minute majors. Gabriel, 27, and MacDermid, 26, were teammates with the Owen Sound Attack of the Ontario Hockey League for three seasons from 2011 to 2014. The Sharks and Kings play again Wednesday, but it appears Gabriel will not dress for the game. “He’s assured us that’s the end of it,” Boughner said of Gabriel. “That’s not the kind of team we want to be. We want to be teamtough, we want to play hard, we want to be hard to play against, but between the whistles and hopefully that adds to our success.” Before previous Sharks games this month, Gabriel has spoken to the opposing team’s leading tough guy, including Ryan Reaves of the Vegas Golden Knights on March 5 and Kyle Clifford of the St. Louis Blues on March 8, in pregame warmups.

GOODYEAR, Ariz. — With just a tweak or two, the Giants’ lineup Tuesday against the Indians had an Opening Night flair to it. Add a DH, say, and maybe another right-handed bat, but otherwise: that’s what will be on tap April 1 against Seattle lefty Marco Gonzales. Most of the Giants’ start-against-lefties regulars were on the road in a 7-0 win – even the veterans – and it was a good day for hitting with the wind blowing hard out to right much of the first half of the game. Donovan Solano, Austin Slater and Brandon Crawford all went deep – and Logan Webb continued his standout spring, working another five scoreless innings despite the howling gusts at Goodyear Ballpark. Minor-leaguer Will Wilson also homered, blasting a 100-mph pitch from Emmanuel Clase out to right in the ninth. Webb particularly enjoyed having a representative team behind him. “It’s always great when you have those guys out there. They were mashing,” he said. “It felt really good to see all of us together,” Solano said, with Erwin

Higueros interpreting. “If that’s how our lineup is going to be for Opening Night, I can see us winning quite a few games if we produce the same way we did today.” Solano’s homer was a two-run shot to center in the first, his second of the spring. He is batting .464 with a 1.266 OPS this spring and has struck out only once. “Yes, I want to avoid striking out,” he said. “I see myself the type of player that puts the ball in play, and I know I’m trying to get extra base hits, but all the sudden I’m hitting home runs. I think that’s a good thing for me right now. I understand that I will strike out eventually, but I’m trying to avoid it.” Webb has been simply sensational throughout the exhibition season, allowing four hits in four scoreless outings while striking out 17 and walking just one in 11 innings. Tuesday, he had to work around two errors behind him. In the first, Tommy La Stella’s throwing error put Harold Ramirez at second with one out, but Webb struck out Jake Bauers and got Bobby Bradley to ground out. In the third, Crawford made a two-out error, and See Giants, Page B2

Brooks helps power Vikings to 14-1 season-opening win FAIRFIELD — Jack Brooks fell a double short of the cycle and was one of three Vikings to drive in two runs as the Vanden High baseball team opened its season and Monticello Empire League play with a 14-1 thumping of Fairfield at Eddie Muzzio Field, Tuesday. Br o ok s t r ipled, homered and scored three runs to lead the 14-hit Vikings attack, driving in two runs as did Isaac Zaldivar and Tyler James, both of whom had two hits, as did Cody Buckley. Both of Buckley’s hits

went for doubles, while James, who scored three runs, ripped a double and a triple. Zaldivar started and threw three hitless innings, giving up an unearned run while striking out seven and walking two. Wes Smith and Calvin Malech each pitched a scoreless inning in relief, the former fanning three, the latter one. The same two te a m s pl ay at Vanden on Thursday. Vacaville 4, Rodriguez 0: At Fairfield, the Bulldogs (1-1) opened MEL play with Logan Piper and Aidan Russell combining on a two-hit shutout. Andrew Lammon and Cameron Malone each had two hits to account for all of Vacaville’s four hits with the latter getting the only RBI in the game. J.J. Nenesini, Griffin Harrison, Tyler Sutton and Caleb Morant each scored a run for the Bulldogs, who took a 2-0 lead in the top of the first inning and added single runs in the second and seventh innings. Piper started and went the first four innings to get the win, allowing no hits while striking out seven and working around five walks. In getting the save, Russell fanned four

and walked two while yielding two hits. Kyle Sandner and Jack Metcho had the hits for the Mustangs while Colin Medeiros went all seven innings, allowing three earned runs with eight strikeouts and three walks. Vacaville opened its season on Monday with a 13-5 loss to Davis. J.J. Menesini had a triple, while Austin Menesini had two hits and Rocky Vidal drove in two runs.

Pac-12: Puts four teams in Sweet 16 From Page B1 side of the bracket where they could meet in the Sweet 16. Sadly, we’re going to lose the Trojans or Ducks on Sunday night, which means there’s no chance of an all-Pac-12 Final Four. This would have never happened to any other “power” league – the top two teams in the regular season standings, Oregon at 14-4 and USC at 15-5, being set up by the NCAA selection committee to play before the Elite Eight, much less the Final Four. Could you imagine that happening to Michigan and Illinois? Baylor and Kansas? Virginia and Florida State? Alabama and Arkansas? Villanova and Creighton? The only reason this scenario befell the Pac-12 is because the national consensus from the beginning of the season was that this league was “power six” in name only, and, with abridged and mostly

Giants From Page B2 Webb struck out Ramirez. Webb allowed only one hit, by Bauers leading off the fourth, and Buster Posey threw him out trying to steal second. In his first two stints in the big leagues, Webb might have allowed such errors to get to him and let an inning snowball out of control. Tuesday, he said, “Those were both bangbang plays, that happens sometimes. You’ve just got to keep throwing.” M a n a g er G a b e Kapler said it was nice to see everything coming together, and he pointed to the savvy baserunning Tuesday, particularly from Slater, who stole a base after nearly being picked off and stayed heads-up on a tricky read on a lineout by Jason Vosler. Slater, a right-handed hitter, is a good bet to be in the order April 1, and Wilmer Flores, who didn’t play Tuesday, is a possibility at first, or maybe third if Evan Longoria is limited to the DH spot by plantar fasciitis. n Kapler still plans to get Longoria onto the field Friday and Brandon Belt (mono) a pinch-hit at-bat in the next game or two.

regionalized nonconference schedules because of Covid-19, there was no chance for the league to punch through that bias until now. That’s what is great about this tournament, though. In college football, disrespected conferences can only rack up pristine bowl records, but even when a league pulls that off, the losers

say bowls don’t matter. In this tournament, going 9-1 matters. Four out of 16 matters. Having the whole country actually watch the Pac-12 put on a show matters and has restored credibility to the entire operation, department by department, from Pullman to Tempe. Think the open job of Pac-12 commissioner

didn’t become more appealing in the last five days? Think again. The Pac-12 can achieve greatness in high-stakes sports. We’ve just forgotten that, even here in the heart of the league’s footprint, where the doom and gloom around the underachieving USC football and UCLA men’s basketball programs colors all.

Newsom hurts himself with unforced errors

he quarterback drops back to pass, spots a receiver and cocks his arm to throw, but the football slips out of his hand, a lineman from the other team snatches up the loose ball and runs for a touchdown. It’s called an “unforced error” and in sports it’s the worst kind of mistake, one that could mean the difference between winning and losing. What’s true in sports is also true in politics and Gov. Gavin Newsom should confess, at least to himself, that he faces a recall election that could tank his political career largely due to his unforced errors. Newsom characterizes the recall campaign as a desperate effort by rightwing kooks, but it was going nowhere until Newsom Dan Walters committed the grandmother of all unforced errors – a very expensive dinner at Napa’s French Laundry restaurant with some lobbyists that plainly violated his pleas to Californians to avoid gatherings and wear masks. Were the French Laundry an isolated example, Newsom would have probably not been seriously affected. But he has continued to do and say things that reinforce the recall campaign’s theme that he is an arrogant elitist oblivious to the concerns of ordinary citizens. Another example popped up last week when he told a CNN interviewer he’s “been living through Zoom school,” a few days after telling Californians in his State of the State address that he and his wife have struggled to help their four young children “cope with the fatigue of Zoom school, the loneliness of missing their friends, frustrated by emotions they don’t yet fully understand.” He clearly was attempting to identify with millions of parents whose children have been kept at home for a year and whose angst has been one of the recall’s drivers. However, as journalists quickly pointed out, Newsom’s children attend a tony private school that reopened many months ago. It was an unforced error, not on the scale of the French Laundry, but once again contributing to the image of a governor who’s tone deaf. And while we’re on the subject of education, Newsom, or at least the officials he commands, committed another unforced error concerning the resumption of high school sports, another sore point with the parents. The Department of Public Health allowed games to resume, but said only one parent could attend and banned cheerleaders, who immediately complained about the unfairness of the decree. The rules were quickly revised to allow cheerleading, but the flap could have been avoided had Newsom and his advisers thought through the sports guidelines from the standpoint of parents and students by actually talking to them before issuing orders from on high. Speaking of which, how about that Blue Shield deal? With the state’s Covid-19 vaccination program bogged down, Newsom suddenly decided to offload supervision to Blue Shield, a health care behemoth that has, as journalists quickly pointed out, a long history of donating to Newsom’s political campaigns. However, what Newsom thought would be a move to smooth out the vaccination program turned out to be another unforced error. The shift immediately attracted opposition from local public health officials who apparently had not been consulted and many of them refused to sign contracts with Blue Shield. It forced the administration to allow the refusniks to contract directly with the state, rather than Blue Shield. Rather than demonstrating that Newsom was on top of the vaccination situation, it lent credence to an image of arrogant bumbling. Newsom is still favored to avoid recall, but if he continues to make unforced errors, he could die the political death of a thousand small cuts.

of Braid’s Home Furnishings, originally named Braid’s Appliance Stop, located at 321 Main St. in Rio Vista. He operated the business from 1938 until his death in 1977. Sixteen years later, his name became a signpost in Solano County history, though his family history dates back in the county to 1871 when his maternal grandfather settled in the Montezuma Hills. His nephew adds these important footnotes to fill out the rest of the story: “(Braid) was highly active in the Rio Vista community, as a member of the volunteer fire department, charter member of the Rio Vista Lions Club (est. 1938), Man of the Year, etc.” I like a good etc. “He was responsible for re-establishing . . . the Rio Vista Bass Derby and Water Carnival, in 1949, after it had been established in 1933 and then discontinued in 1939, due to the war. He served as general chairman of the festival in 1949 and 1950 and continued to serve on (various) committees over the years that followed,” Phil Pezzaglia noted. His widow, Josephine Pezzaglia, and son, Lawrence Pezzaglia, were in attendance for the groundbreaking of the bridge in January 1992. Paul Harvey would have appreciated that, and so does this commuter.

Covid-19 kept cars off roads in 2020, but pedestrian deaths remained high Tribune Content Agency Remember those images of empty streets, minus people and cars, from the early days of lockdown last year? memorable Those photos, captured as the coronavirus pandemic was upending daily life, meant a drop, at least for a time, in the amount of vehicle miles being driven. Unfortunately, that didn’t translate into a drop in pedestrian deaths. Instead, a preliminary data analysis released Tuesday by the Governors Highway Safety Association shows a shocking 20% increase in the pedestrian fatality rate per billion vehicle miles traveled during the first six months of the year. “It’s upsetting. It’s really very, very unsettling to think we can have such a large reduction in traffic and no drop in pedestrian fatalities,” said Richard Retting, director of safety/research for Sam Schwartz, the consulting firm that analyzed the information. “There’s never been anything close to this on a rate basis.” Pedestrian deaths have skyrocketed over the past decade despite substantial safety improvements for vehicle occupants. A variety of factors are believed to be at play in the increase in pedestrian fatalities, including more large trucks and SUVs on the road as recounted by the Detroit Free Press/ USA Today investigation, “Death on foot: America’s love of SUVs is killing pedestrians,” as well as distraction, vehicle speed and alcohol use. Other issues also are noteworthy. People of color represent a disproportionate number of victims, and most fatal pedestrian crashes happen at night and away from intersections. Despite the impact of Covid-19 on daily life, including a shift to remote learning and working from home, the number of fatalities in the first half of the 2020 appears to have been close to the same as the prior year, with 2,957 pedestrian deaths for the first six months of 2020 compared with 2,951 in 2019, according to safety associ-

ation projections. The key figure, however, in the context of the pandemic is how that relates to the number of vehicle miles traveled, which dropped 16.5% compared with the same period in 2019. The pedestrian fatality rate of 2.2 per billion vehicle miles traveled represents a 20% increase over the 2019 rate, according to the analysis of data from state highway safety offices. Such an increase if it holds for the full year or does not drop much would be troublingly notable. Fatalities tend to go up in the second half of the year, Retting noted, saying people tend to be out and about more during the warmer summer months and for holidays like Halloween and Christmas. The analysis found that 6,301 pedestrians died in the United States in 2019. That number is an increase of about 96 over the federal data released so far for the year, but was adjusted to account for historical underreporting in the government’s typical initial releases, according to the safety association. Pedestrians accounted for about 17% of all traffic deaths in 2019, a percentage that has risen fairly consistently over the last decade. The tens of thousands of pedestrians killed in the last 10 years include men, women and children, and it highlights the dramatic toll this crisis has taken on America’s most vulnerable road users. However, the numbers, all based on preliminary data, point to some improvements as well. Twenty states and Wa sh i ng ton, D.C ., recorded declines in the number of pedestrian fatalities, some of which were double digit and percentage declines, compared with the first half of 2019. Delaware and Kentucky are projected to have three years of declines in pedestrian deaths, while Arizona is expected to have its second year of declining fatalities. Still, 27 states reported increases in their numbers during the same period. Michigan, with 68 fatalities, had three more pedestrian deaths in the first half of 2020 than in the same stretch of 2019, according to the analysis.

Chipmaker SkyWater to jump into IPO frenzy Tribune Content Agency SkyWater Technology Inc. plans to go public, joining the surging number of initial public offerings as investors continue driving U.S. stock markets to new highs. Bloomington, Minn.based SkyWater filed notice with securities regulators late Monday to issue shares on the Nasdaq Stock Market under the market symbol SKYT. The firm and its underwriters have not determined the precise number of shares nor the price. However, the document showed that SkyWater aims to raise $75 million to be used for working capital and general purposes. The decision shows that SkyWater executives and its principal owner, Oxbow Industries LLC, are ready to sell their strategy as a contract chipmaker with institutional investors and the public. The company, which has its roots in the hightech pioneer Control Data

Corp., has flourished in recent years as a maker of chips designed by other firms that don’t need huge output and latest chipmaking technology offered by the industry’s largest fabricators. Amid a sharp fluctation in the broader chip industry because of the pandemic and recession, SkyWater’s revenue rose about 3% last year to $140.4 million, the listing notice said. It posted a net loss of $19.7 million, widening from a loss of $16.4 million in 2019. SkyWater will become the second legacy company of Control Data, the maker of mainframes and supercomputers that dominated the Minnesota technology scene from the late 1950s through the 1980s, to go public in recent years. That company’s software unit, now called Ceridian HCM Inc., listed on the Nasdaq in 2018. Its office is in a former Control Data site just a mile or so from SkyWater’s fabrication plant.

The payouts are up to $1,400 for each person who qualifies. Some people are being shut out of this third stimulus round based on their income. A single person with up to $75,000 in adjusted gross income could qualify for the full payment. But we’re talking about far less money after that and no stimulus money would be sent to those who are at $80,000 or more in income. The full payment will come to those making up to $112,500 who file as head of household or up to $150,000 for married couples filing jointly. No stimulus money is available from this round for those making $120,000 or more who file as head of household and $160,000 or more for married couples filing jointly.

The Hartford rejects $23B purchase offer Tribune Content Agency Har tford F inancial Services Group Inc. Tuesday announced its board of directors rejected Chubb Ltd.’s unsolicited proposal for its acquisition. The board determined that entering into discussions “regarding a strategic transaction would not be in the best interests of the company and its shareholders.” It

reaffirmed its commitment and resolve in the continued execution of The Hartford’s strategic business plan” as a standalone company, it said. Zurich, Switzerlandbased Chubb offered on March 11 to buy The Hartford at $65 a share, a 13% premium for shareholders of The Hartford. The offer valued The Har tford at about $23 billion. Shares of The Hart-

ford fell less than 1% at the start of trading, to $66.77. Chubb rose slightly, to $157.41. A spokesman for Chubb did not immediately respond to a request seeking comment. The rejection of Chubb’s offer will be seen as good news in the city and in Connecticut generally after a string of corporate headquarter exits. General Electric Co. left for Boston in 2016,

Aetna was purchased by Rhode Island-based CVS Health Corp. in 2018 and United Technologies Corp. merged with Raytheon Co. and moved to Waltham, Mass. last year. In addition, the possibility of losing jobs in an acquisition coincided with the pandemic that’s expected to change how many workers will return regularly to offices in downtown Hartford.

Scarlett Johansson stars as Natasha Romanoff, aka Black Widow, in the Marvel film “Black Widow.”

‘Black Widow’ to hit theaters, streaming July 9 Los Angeles Times Walt Disney Co. has delayed its much-anticipated Marvel Studios film “Black Widow” to July 9, and the feature will be released simultaneously in theaters and on Disney+ for an additional fee, the company said Tuesday. Disney’s “Cruella” will be released on May 28, also in theaters and through the Disney+ Premier Access strategy, which charges a $30 fee for new films. Pixar’s “Luca” will go directly to Disney+ June 18 for no additional charge. The decision has been the subject of will-theywon’t-they speculation in Hollywood as theaters reopen in major cities in hopes that blockbusters will return and draw moviegoers back to the big screen. Movie houses in the greater Los Angeles area reopened last week, following the return of cinemas in New York City. Theater companies were hoping Disney would stick with its previously planned May 7 release date for “Black Widow.” The vaccine rollout has boosted optimism among some analysts that audiences will slowly start to come back to theaters when there are major Hollywood movies to see. But continued concerns over the spread of coronavirus and capacity limitations on theaters continue to give studios pause when it comes to their largest productions. Blockbusters depend on wide theatrical releases to become profitable. “Today’s announcement reflects our focus on providing consumer choice and serving the evolving preferences of audiences,” said

Kareem Daniel, chairman of Disney Media & Entertainment Distribution, in a statement. “By leveraging a flexible distribution strategy in a dynamic marketplace that is beginning to recover from the global pandemic, we will continue to employ the best options to deliver The Walt Disney Company’s unparalleled storytelling to fans and families around the world.” With an estimated budget of more than $200 million, “Black Widow” certainly qualifies as a big Hollywood movie. Though films such as “Tom & Jerry” and “The Marksman” have come out during the Covid-19 shutdown, most big-budget films have been pushed back. The release date for the Scarlett Johansson superhero spy thriller has been delayed by roughly a year because of the Covid-19 pandemic that kept indoor theaters closed for the bulk of the last 12 months. The most recent postponement for the movie was in September, when Disney moved it to May 7 from Nov. 6 amid continued concerns about the coronavirus’ spread. Disney’s announcement comes just after British movie theater company Cineworld said that Regal Cinemas – the second largest U.S. chain – will to reopen its doors starting in early April. The phased reopening begins with “a limited number of cinemas” opening for Warner Bros.’s “Godzilla vs. Kong” on April 2 and will expand with “Mortal Kombat” on April 16. Both movies go to HBO Max on the same day they hit theaters.

Olivia Colman as Anne and Anthony Hopkins as Anthony in “The Father.”

Oscar best picture race wide open; 8 nominees make their case Tribune Content Agency Oscar campaigning has been quieter this year. But the studios still want to win. And now that nominations are out, awards consultants are busy fine-tuning their pitches for the final push to the Academy Awards. How might they sell their movies to Oscar voters who haven’t made up their minds or, good Lord, haven’t even mustered the interest to watch their nominated films? Let’s take a look at the thinking behind the “campaigns” for the eight pictures left standing.

‘The Father’ Just keep rolling with those ads and posters showing Olivia Colman gazing lovingly at a beaming Anthony Hopkins and lean into the movie’s touching story of a daughter trying to take care of her aging father. Everything’s going to be OK. Really! Look at that twinkle in Hopkins’ eyes. Repeat after me: He’s not losing his mind. He’s not losing his mind. He’s not losing his mind.

‘Mank’ We’d like to thank the academy for the 10 nominations. Have we mentioned that it’s the most-nominated movie of the year? We have? Well, that’s because just about every branch in the academy (except for the writers; we don’t know what they were thinking) recognized the considerable craft that went into this film. We realize that the academy’s membership has changed in recent years, so the movie’s evocation of Old Hollywood might not give younger voters . . . how do the kids put it . . . ummm . . . the feels? Also, if you haven’t, check out this “Citizen Kane.” It’s pretty good. And it might help you appreciate our movie.

‘Judas And The Black Messiah’ Remind everyone that Oscar voters loved LaKeith Stan-

Daily Cryptoquotes

field’s phenomenal turn in this movie so much that they nominated him for supporting actor, ignoring Warner Bros.’ recommendation to place him in the lead actor category. If Stanfield and co-star Daniel Kaluuya, the two actors playing the title characters, are supporting, who is the movie’s lead? Perhaps the question should be rephrased: What is the movie’s lead? Answer: Its timeliness. Though the events in the movie take place 50 years ago, its chilling look at systemic racism – the FBI-engineered police killing of Black Panther leader Fred Hampton – makes it profoundly relevant and, perhaps, the most important movie among the nominees. Consider that.

What other F words can we use? Fennell! Emerald Fennell. You gave her three Oscar nominations, for writing, directing and producing this furious, ferocious and funny movie. And you also nominated our star, Carey Mulligan, who, no matter what that Variety critic wrote (and thank you, Variety, for displaying such integrity and courage to apologize, nearly a year after the review ran, for minimizing her daring performance), is probably going to win the Oscar for lead actress. Plus you gave us an editing nomination too. Picture, director, writing, editing, acting . . . add them all up and you have all the precursors needed to win. Fabulous!

‘Sound Of Metal’

‘Minari’ One wise critic called “Minari” a “balm,” and we know you’ve been feeling that. We never expected all this love. It reminds us of another intimate, personal movie from a few years ago, “Moonlight,” which . . . what do you know . . . just happened to be made by A24 and Plan B Entertainment, the same companies behind “Minari.” Huh. Do you think history can repeat itself? If SAG Awards voters give our wonderful cast its ensemble prize, that’d be a nice start. Besides, who doesn’t want to see the adorable and accomplished Alan Kim celebrating (and maybe chugging down Mountain Dew?) in a tuxedo. Let’s make this happen.

‘Nomadland’ If you’ve seen the movie, you realize how you feel when you spend more time being happier with what you have than unhappy with what you don’t have. What we have, right now, is pretty much every best picture award from the past year. What we don’t have is the Oscar. Yet. See you down the road.

‘Promising Young Woman’ It’s furious. And ferocious. Did we say funny? Because it’s pretty freakin’ funny too.

You don’t need to fix anything here. Six nominations? That’s beautiful. We’ve got a little assignment for you, though. You get up early, right? Get some hot coffee, maybe a doughnut (vegan’s OK), go to a quiet room and just sit. And write. It doesn’t matter what you write, how you write or what you write about, though it’d be nice if maybe you’d reflect on “Sound of Metal” and how it conveyed a few things we all went through and learned during this past year. And then remember those thoughts when you fill out your ballot.

Bridge

‘The Trial Of The Chicago 7’ First things first: Let’s put that Aaron Sorkin “snub” behind us. “Argo” won best picture without a director nomination. “Green Book” too. And this movie is at least as good as those two films. Maybe better. It could well win the SAG Awards ensemble honor because . . . look at the title: “Chicago 7.” And there were actually eight defendants at the start. Add in the lawyers and the judge and you’ve got a BIG ensemble of great actors. All men. But those were the times. Anyway . . . where were we? Oh . . . SAG ensemble plus maybe the Producers Guild best picture prize and we’re back in business, Sorkin “snub” be damned.

THE LOWEST-RANKING CAN OCCASIONALLY WIN The fourth senryu by Anne Maverick of Baton Rouge, Louisiana, mentioning a bidding convention was: A major-suit bid / With five-five in the minors / Unusual two. It must be admitted that the Unusual No-Trump, showing at least 5-5 in the two lowest-ranking unbid suits, is less effective than the Michaels

Sudoku

by Phillip Alder Cue-Bid (see yesterday’s column). You are always having to go one level higher to outbid the opponents. But the UNT does have an occasional day in the sunshine – not that today’s deal is necessarily one of them! What do you think of the bidding, and how should South plan the play in five clubs after West leads the heart king? What should North do if West opens four hearts? After North used the Unusual No-Trump and South expressed a preference for clubs but limited high cards, North should have continued with three hearts. Then South, holding a heart stopper, would have bid three no-trump and had nine top tricks: one heart, three diamonds and five clubs. When North invited game by raising to four clubs, South moved on because he seemed to have two useful honor cards and a ruffing value in diamonds. Since declarer’s trumps are so low, South should assume diamonds are 4-3 and allow for a 4-1 trump break. Win with the heart ace, unblock the diamond queen, play a trump to the dummy, ruff a diamond in hand, draw the remaining trumps and run the diamonds. Declarer loses only two spade tricks. Finally, if West opens four hearts, North overcalls four no-trump to show at least 5-5 in the minors. COPYRIGHT: 2021, UNITED FEATURE SYNDICATE

No.: 9462-5804 TSG Order No.: 191136884-CA-VOI A.P.N.: 0150-031-230 NOTICE OF TRUSTEE'S SALE YOU ARE IN DEFAULT UNDER A DEED OF TRUST DATED 07/03/2006. UNLESS YOU TAKE ACTION TO PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY, IT MAY BE SOLD AT A PUBLIC SALE. IF YOU NEED AN EXPLANATION OF THE NATURE OF THE PROCEEDING AGAINST YOU, YOU SHOULD CONTACT A LAWYER. Affinia Default Services, LLC, as the duly appointed Trustee, under and pursuant to the power of sale contained in that certain Deed of Trust Recorded 07/13/2006 as Document No.: 200600088523, of Official Records in the office of the Recorder of Solano County, California, executed by: KEITH PAULSEN AND ROBYN PAULSEN HUSBAND AND WIFE AS JOINT TENANTS, as Trustor, WILL SELL AT PUBLIC AUCTION TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER FOR CASH (payable in full at time of sale by cash, a cashier's check drawn by a state or national bank, a check drawn by a state or federal credit union, or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, savings association, or savings bank specified in section 5102 of the Financial Code and authorized to do business in this state). All right, title and interest conveyed to and now held by it under said Deed of Trust in the property situated in said County and state, and as more fully described in the attached legal description. Sale Date & Time: 04/14/2021 at 10:30 AM Sale Location: At the Santa Clara Street entrance to the City Hall at 555 Santa Clara Street, Vallejo, CA 94590 The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 3555 SALISBURY CT, FAIRFIELD, CA 94534 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein. Said sale will be made in an “AS IS” condition, but without covenant or warranty, expressed or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust, with interest thereon, as provided in said note(s), advances, if any, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, estimated fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust, to-wit: $390,723.40 (Estimated). Accrued interest and additional advances, if any, will increase this figure prior to sale. It is possible that at the time of sale the opening bid may be less than the total indebtedness due. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call, 916-9390772 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this internet website, www.nationwideposting.com, for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, T.S.# 9462-5804. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the internet website. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. NOTICE TO TENANT: You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call 916-9390772, or visit this internet website www.nationwideposting.com, using the file number assigned to this case, 9462-5804, to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse.

MARCUS Case Number: P050672 To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of: Olivia E. Marcus A Petition for Probate has been filed by: George A. Marcus in the Superior Court of California, County of: Solano The Petition for Probate requests that: George A. Marcus be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent. The petition requests the decedent's will and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate. The will and codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the court. The petition requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority. A hearing on the petition will be held in this court as follows: DATE: APR. 27, 2021 TIME: 9:00 a.m.; DEPT.: 22 SUPERIOR COURT OF CALIFORNIA, COUNTY OF SOLANO Old Solano Courthouse 580 Texas Street Fairfield, CA 94533 If you object to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing.
